• When in Switzerland...

    posted by Deleted user in Switzerland forum 

    Reading all those comments one could think that Switzerland is the worst place on earth for living... I wonder why you all live there, folks?!?

    I know how it feels to live in a foreign country, I have lived in many different countries most far more exotic than Switzerland, right now I live in México. I think there is one basic rule that you should respect in all countries if you want to make friends: when in Rome do as the Romans or when in Switzerland do as the Swiss.

    If you go to Switzerland or any other place and expect the people to do what you want them to do, to behave the way that you would like them to behave... then it will never work! And its not their fault in the first place, but yours!

    I can not complain about people in Saudi-Arabia beeing unfriendly if I do not make an effort to speak Arabic, I can not expect Mexican people to be open for me if I look at them as a nation of siesta-makers, I should not be surprised if Japanese people avoid me if I hug and kiss friends that they introduce to me etc.

    To all the complainers.. Try to understand the customs and behaviors of the country you are living in, in this case Switzerland and don't make the mistake to expect them to understand your customs and behaviors. ; )
